2021 Lineup

[Up_Sugar]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but LG confirmed he was there, but not that he was there alone... Think this pretty much confirms an Oasis reunion! (Sorry, it had to be suggested at least once!)

On a real note though, not seen anyone mention Bury Tomorrow in predictions for the undercard. If BMTH or Slipknot are there surely they could be earlier in the day for that stage?

Hate the thought but what’s the odds of them getting George Ezra

Yeah would love to see the likes of Bury Tomrorow, Beartooth, While She Sleeps, Holding Absence playing some Main/R1 slots on the "heavier" day(s) rather than headlining pit against Billie, Dua or LG - who I'd probably quite like to see!

Definitely! Needs to be done with proper placements though imo. Whilst I understand why people don't like a 'heavy' day and an 'indie' day, etc. seeing the likes of Moose Blood, Creeper and Korn on main stage in the past has been awful with Reading's clientele waiting for a rap or indie artist

[Up_Sugar]

Been trying to come up with a few 'out there' predictions or suggestions. Not sure where they'd fit placements wise, I guess sub, but not seen mentions of either Bombay Bicycle Club or The Black Keys?

can’t believe we haven’t had any leaks or anything, very exciting 

[Otis Reeves]

Leaked from emails of a certain online media outlet due to be reporting on the festival lineup announcement tomorrow.

EDIT: i would love this btw

[RarerThanDandyB]

BMTH, Slipknot and Billie would be sensational

[RarerThanDandyB]

didnt we say Tyler the Creator wouldn’t accept anything less than headline. HAIM not headlining with six would be strange also. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

If they’ve pulled this off, hats off 

[SteventheG]

It’s weird that biffy didn’t headline after bringing out a new number 1 album

What is this certain media outlet

[RarerThanDandyB]

if you’ve made this Otis, it’s very impressive 

[sisco]

From a selfish point of view it’d annoy me as it’ll rule out Royal Blood from Victorious Festival

Acts generally don’t play both, and not sure R&L would want one of their headers playing that too.  Although... we are in strange times

[RarerThanDandyB]

Billie Eilish // Bring Me The Horizon // Slipknot would be a sensational trio and hopefully they will announce IDLES and Fontaines later down the line. probably cause they are still selling dates (if its real)

That's a great set of headliners for me, about as good as you could realistically expect from Reading these days. Really hope the leak is legit!

That’s weirder

[Fuzzy Afro]

I like royal blood, but what have they done to get bumped up to headliner since 2019? Are R+L gambling on them bringing out a quality new album in the next 12 months?

Quality new album? Probably not. But if it reaches No.1 it'll be three in a row I think.

If only it was going to be this good.
